By Rachel Tan -
Most recently seen in The Mummy (2017) with Tom Cruise and Tag (2018) with Jeremy Renner, Oxford-born actress and polyglot Annabelle Wallis is also Cartier's new face for its Panthere watches and jewellery. Wallis was picked by the French luxury brand for her "strength of character, fearless spirit and hunger for self-expression", and has starred in a recent campaign featuring some of Cartier's new double-looped and triple-looped Panthere watches.
She shares with us her list of top 10 faves, from people she admires, to London haunts, to her go-to formula for a fun night out.

"I'd love to work with anyone who challenges me. I particularly admire Frances McDormand for her interesting choices and bold, fearless characters. Also, Javier Bardem and Sam Rockwell."

"I love the works of directors Wong Kar Wai and Yorgos Lanthimos so so much. Some of my favourite movies are In the Mood for Love, Kramer vs Kramer, and All About Eve. I have too many to list!"

"Grace in Peaky Blinders. She is so beautifully flawed."

"The Beatles' Abbey Road is always with me on my travels. I also listen to Blood Orange, Kaytranada, and my best friend's band, Lyves. I don’t think I have an all-time favourite song; it changes depending on my mood, the time in my life, and the love in my life."
"In London, it's Bistrotheque, which is in the arts district where there are galleries and the ambience is cool and eclectic, and it always has someone playing the piano. Also, The River Cafe, because it's such a London staple; it has such amazing food and the space is amazing. And I love Wolseley for a fancy affair."

"I go to Daunt Books in Marylebone, London. In Los Angeles, it's The Last Bookstore. I am now reading Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward, a book about family. Between paperbacks and a Kindle, I still prefer the former, although I use an iPad for my scripts."

"Chiltern Firehouse for dinner, then let life take you from there; it's always interesting. For drinks, I like any East End pub. I love places that have history, and all the pubs in the area have been around forever. I love the glamour of Claridge's before the theatre."

"Portobello Road on Fridays, and East London on Sundays."

"Moisturise many times a day and drink lots of water. I keep it very simple. I use Dr Lancer products and love all of them!"
